Mugabe approves surveillance law
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has approved a new law allowing the security services to intercept postal, internet and telephone communications.Sound like the KGB to anyone?
The law also establishes a state-run communications monitoring centre.
So how bad are things in Zimbabwe?
The United Nations World Food Programme warned on Wednesday that hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans are running out of food due to a poor harvest and the worsening economic situation.This is Venezuela in a few years.
Inflation is running at 4,500% - the world's highest - and 80% of the work force is unemployed.
Three million Zimbabweans have left the country and another 3.3 million rely on food aid.
